Boat motors?

Question

i have a 5 horse wards sea king boat motor and need to know if it uses straight gas or gas and oil and whatever else you can tell me about this motor

Answer 1

It uses a 50:1 mix of gas and 2 cycle oil.

you can find tons of info here: www.iboats.com

Answer 2

Double J knows nothing about this engine.  It's a two stroke, and old.  Yes, 50:1 should do it.  A 5 horse outboard will push a small aluminum boat around way faster than you can row, and it that's all you need, it's perfect.  Don't run without oil, or you will have yourself an anchor.

Answer 3

You truthfully answer the question, I know that you need a bigger motor for your boat. I would say you would probably need a motor that is  large enough to pull the with ease.

A motor such as you have, you would use straight gas in the motor just to keep it in good usable shape..
